@KWilly - kinda think most CBM adjacent actors and directors have members of their teams scour internet forums for feedback and telling their clients how to behave publically

@LilJimmy - highly doubt they would leave Shuri out of it in addition to not being able to use Chadwick

@whalers - - 1st act: Opens with T’Challa’s royal funeral. Afterwards, in the throne room, Shuri reveals to her mother and Okoye what T’Challa told her about EK’s son. They agree to send Shuri, Nakia, and The Dora Milaje (led by Ayo) go to America to find Killmonger’s son (maybe meet up with Bucky?). The son is introduced in some kind of a fight scene (to show he’s a badass like his dad) in a not-great city, the Wakandans find him and confront him, he’s suspicious about everything, he runs, parkour chase scene demonstrating his smarts and athleticism, etc.

- 2nd act: They bring him back to Wakanda, he has to deal with people there resenting him for what his father did, he learns about everything that happened and processes it. Act concludes with him doing the challenge / fight thing by the waterfall. He wins... but he doesn’t want to be King, he just wanted to prove he was worthy! Later, he’s preparing to leave, until someone explains to him that he could have the opportunity to talk to his father for the first time via taking the heart shaped herb / doing the burial thing...

- 3rd act: A threat thats been the B-plot and lurking in the background: Surrounding militias / poachers deciding to attack and invade Wakanda for its now publicly-known valuable resources, now that word is out that their guardian/leader is gone. Things get to the point where it looks like Shuri/her mother might die and Wakanda might fall, (insert classic Marvel last second rescue scene, like Sam/Cap saving the truck in the finale) something saves them! Camera zooms out, and its EK’s son rocking his own suit panther suit, he saves the day, etc. Turns out he was inspired to take up the mantle after taking the herb / doing the burial thing and talking to his dad in the afterlife who has grown/evolved as a character, and sees that at least some of the things he did were wrong. After everything, the son decides to accept the throne, and its suggested that due to his American upbringing, he’ll be the ideal king to lead Wakanda in its efforts on how best to aid the rest of the world. The end.

- Post credits scene: Nakia is somewhere in a desert-like region of Africa, clearly searching for something.. she sees a girl with white-silver hair standing in the open.. dark clouds are beginning to form.. camera zooms out to reveal the girl’s face, and she has glowing white eyes! Thunder clap! (The son’s future love interest?)

- 2nd post credits scene: Latveria / Dr. Doom or some shit.
